I was thinking aboutthe photo session with someone, who is“slightly” older than the19–month-old baby.I metMarlene half a year ago andnow I justinvited herto cooperate.Being on theoutdoors photo session with heris not onlya pleasurebut alsoa uniqueunderstandingof my and her expectations.

It is marchand with it the winter is back.This is the firstsnow from december, which was a weatheranomalyin this partof Norway. We already started toenjoy thewarm and sunny days. We were feelingspring in the air,until thisweekend, when thesnowy winter came back.

There wassnow storm, but we managed to “jump out” for a whileto get some fresh air andadmire thewhite landscapes. Although it iscold witha calendar springjust around the corner…

The timepasses very quicklyand some of ourmemories with it.We often forgetabout the moments, whichat that time don’t seems to beveryimportant, but in the futurethey will have greatsentimental value for us. Weforgethow we were spendingtimewith our child, where andwhatwe were doing…Looking on thepictures I can be surethat I will alwaysremember, for example how ourlittle boywanderedintoour bedin the morning,or thathe likedto play withhis pacifier, which hedrove on the“choo-choo train”. I’m sure I will never forget the moment when we were making the animals from lego toys and our son just smashed them within one move.

I want to catch and keep so many importantmoments for our familly ! And I hopethatmygrandchildren will be laughingto tears of just looking on the pictures🙂

The long evenings came along with autumn.Dayspassessoquickly. I feel thelack of sun, and good lightingto take pictures.Darkness comes very fast.Our sonspends more timeat homethan outside, so I can see his traces everywhere. He is gettingmore and morepowerful. He caneasilymove thechair,orpush his stroller … He can alsoreach the places wherethere was somethinghiddenfrom him. Our son isa very good observerandhe started to imitate what we are doing.I hope hewill imitate the tidying also 🙂

Inthis projectI would like toshow the children, when they play andinteractingwitheach other in differentsituationsin the kindergarden. All parentswill receive twophotographs ofhischildren, one portraitandone photowhere the child is “in action”.

Another month had passed. The time flies extremelyfast and we can see it onour children! Not so longago ourson couldnotreacheddrawerin thekitchen and now I do not knowwhen he started to sniff there. It‘s about time to look aroundthe house andmovedangerous objectsonhigher levels. I I don’t even know when the box with my decorative ribbons landed on the floor. Andtapes? Unfortunately,almost allhave been destroyed . Looking atthis all,from a different perspective I can say,I am so happy that our son is healthy and growing fast 🙂

Next month have passed, more images were made. Now I knowwhat aremy son’sfavorite toys. Although he stillgets newand attractive, however there are a fewthat he plays all the time. One ofthem is thecowwhichmove aroundandplay variousmelodies. My songotit frommy goodfriend, for over half ayearago, andas you can seeit is stillon top.

This isthe thirdprojectin whichI took part, one is still in progress(KidsWere Here). Besides of having good fun, there is a lot to learn.When Ilooked atthe photos which I madein july and when I compared themwith the current pictures, I noticed how my son has changed inthesetwo months. That wastwo long months, buton the other hand, theypassedso quicklythat I couldeasilywrite justtwo months.I have to thank to my sonandall those whohelped me to made all those pictures.

This is the project in whichI participated together with other users on theforumChildIn Focus. During the summer time (july and august),we are takingpictures according to thetopics. On certain day of the week we all are publishing them and then analyze our work.

This project require totaketwophotosin a certain week. We have to take photos according to the topic . Of course baby or children have to be on the pictures. In my opinion they are amazing “objects” to photograph, becuase of their spontaneity and natural behavior.I’m introducing You the pictures made in july.

We spent the almost whole july inPoland.I had planned totake, a pictures of every placewhere myson was, but the reality wasdifferent.Often, I showed up with my cameratoo late,scatteredthingshave been alreadygone,picked upby someone else.There were alsosituations in whichIforgot to photographevidence of my son presence.However,I managed to made some picturesandI would like to present them to You.Caughtin this way“moments”, are not the only simple images,but also they are the memoriesand emotions.
